If you have a loved one in Albuquerque who has recently been diagnosed with dementia, you find that he or she is starting to rely on you and other family members for support. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed with your caregiving duties while trying to balance your other priorities. You may even be wondering if your loved one would be better cared for in a nursing facility or memory care center. However, with our dementia care program at Visiting Angels^® Albuquerque, your loved one can receive the specialized care they need in the comfort and familiarity of their home. Our dementia care services are available for seniors throughout the Albuquerque area, including Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, Edgewood, Bernallilo, Placitas, Los Ranchos, and the surrounding communities.
